Sharkfishing in The Netherlands? That's possible!

27 March2017

When you think of the Netherlands you won't be thinking about sharks. Our population of smoothounds are recovering. Now there are special smoothound trips organised by fishing charters. They fish close to the shore and in the Oosterschelde. Smoothounds can grow to 130 cm.

You can catch these smoothounds with ragworms presented on the bottom. The season starts in May and ends in October. You can also catch the from the beach in Zeeland.
